Final Prediction on Fury vs. Whyte
Collapse
-
So I got it wrong. But at-least I explained my reasoning.
I have just seen the weigh in.
Tyson Fury has come in at 264 pounds, and Whyte only a just over a stone lighter.
Fury is not going to have the big strength advantage in this fight, like he did over Wilder 'This will change the fight entirely'.
I sense, that Fury may not quite fight Whyte head on. Now this may have been a good idea while he was training under Peter Fury.
But these days? Whenever Tyson Fury since his comeback, has tried to bring back 'The Riddler' I don't think it has gone well.
It did not go well in the first Wilder fight, it does not matter how people try and shape it up. Fury was decked twice, and backed up all night.
And of course Fury was busted up real good vs Wallin, was right there to be hit 'Even though he weighed in at 254 pounds'.
Therefore, true to my word? I will predict that Dillian Whyte will win this fight via knock out.
I have no idea when the stoppage will come, could be early or late. But at some point, Whyte will get to Fury.
Whyte's jab may be one of the most effective punches in this fight, the three best jabbers in the heavyweight division are Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder & Dillian Whyte.
Whyte may lose rounds, but I think it will be clear from the get go. Clear that Fury is no longer levels above these other heavyweights anymore. Once upon a time this may have been the case i.e While he was training under Peter Fury 'But now maybe that gap has closed'.
All this talk of retirement, it does not sit well with me. There is something not right about it guys, surely there are some Hardcore Tyson Fury fans out there? That sense there is more behind all of that talk etc.
Conclusion: I predict Dillian Whyte will win via knock-out.
If Tyson Fury just so happens to win, that would be great. Apart of me, would understand the devastation in Fury losing. It is just that, for sometime I have been continually stating that Fury has to fight Whyte as Kronk Fury 100%. If he drops weight, and attempts to bring back a half hearted Riddler? This fight is coming towards Whyte.
Being a heavyweight champion, is about making the right tactical moves in training camps. Joshua made all the wrong tactical moves for Usyk, trained ineffectively, and employed the wrong strategy on the night.
This is precisely the situation, I think Tyson Fury is now in. And there is no turning back, the training has been done.
And I was not just wanting Fury to lose.
Tyson Fury got the tactics and strategy right.
I only caught the last two rounds, but even from just that? I could see Whyte lacked certain dimensions to his game.
That was just making him completely ineffective.
Good performance and smooth knock-out for Fury.
This is pretty much like Carl Froch vs George Groves II. If Fury retires after fighting in front of 90'000 + fans, maybe in his mind he is content that he has achieved it all.
Yes there is still the undisputed fight out there, but I still think nothing will ever top Fury beating Kiltschko. That is still his biggest achievement.
I am content that Tyson Fury won.

I said Fury KO 7, but he did it in 6. Fury boxed smart, played it safe and then dropped the hammer on him.Comment

Lol ..............Whyte is a stylistic nightmare for Fury and he's going to expose, embarrass and batter the Gypsy King. Fury can neither dance and run around Whyte nor can he brawl and go to war with him. Fury simply won't be able to handle the pressure, aggression and violence that Whyte is going to bring.
Anyone who thinks this is an easy fight for Fury or that Fury is levels above Whyte and the rest of the top heavyweights is either a delusional Fury fanboy or simply doesn't know **** about boxing.
Fury is already talking about retiring after the fight and the real reason is he knows what Whyte brings to the table and is aware the chances of losing are quite high. And being the fake spartan he is, he'll use the retirement excuse not to rematch Whyte as he knows Dillian has his number.Comment
